I have a couple egg eaters that I'm trying to curb their bad behavior. However, this morning I went to collect eggs and there were maggots swimming in one. :-( I collect eggs every day, but had been out of town yesterday. How do I kill any leftover maggots so they don't cause even more problems?

We just got our first two bantam cochins this year. They were started and the male has been crowing for a couple weeks. I put some other bantams in the brooder with them (we are building a bigger coop so I can keep the bantams separate from the standard size chickens we have) and the rooster...

I think I posted it, but in case not. We got 8 chicks out of 22 eggs. One passed away after a couple hours, so our current total is 7, but 8 technically hatched

Of my 22 eggs I hatched 8, but one only lasted a few hours. It was much smaller then the rest. 3 of my 10 shipped Marans hatched and 5 of my 12 from the local school hatched

How do you tell if eggs left are viable? My day 21 was Saturday at noon. I have 6 eggs of 14 left. Last hatch was last night.

i have my eighth egg zipping right now, but when it's done how do you tell which eggs still are viable. Do I even bother? Day 21 was Saturday at noon for me.

The chick just hatched lost this and has just a bit of blood. Is that normal? Sorry I'm a total newby.

Thank you so much!! I know you aren't suppose to open the incubator, but my humidity is up to 89%. Is that ok or do I need to try and fix that?

Is this too crowded for this chick? Or leave it be. It's making me nervous running into all the eggs!

We have two pips this morning!!! My boys are so excited!!! (I might be more, lol).

Thank you! Just so excited and so are my 7 and 5 year olds!!

Should I be worried? A few eggs were shaking last night and one this morning and nothing since. I set on Saturday so day 21 is tomorrow. This is my first hatch. I'm trying to be patient, but seeing all these hatches on here makes me wonder..

Me too!!

Thanks! This has been the hardest day so far! I saw two wobble once and now I can't stay away from the glass!! Lol

once locked down candling is a no-no correct?

Have 14 eggs in lockdown and 2 are moving now and then. The anticipation is killing me!! The 2 that are moving Marans we had shipped. Can't wait and hoping we have a successful hatch! This is our first ever!!

What should the humidity be pushed to at lockdown?

Candled tonight and I'm down to 14. 9 out of 12 from our local school and 5 out of 10 on my mix of Marans. Really hoping they all hatch, but we will see!

I am so excited. I was running low on room for the chicks I already have. I'm raising 14 for a family that lives on a farm and doesn't have the best of luck getting them old enough to lay because something always gets them as chicks. So since I raised some for others last year, she asked...
